Before they had the chance to spar as they had planned, they saw Bran, who was being carried towards them. Brienne saw Jaime turn as white as a ghost. There were rumours that the Lannister's had played a part in the fall that Bran had that lost him the use of his legs but Brienne never really had more detail than that. She didn't really know if even the Starks knew the full story as it was to her knowledge that Bran had disclosed very little about the events of that day.

Brienne noticed how awful Jaime looked upon being approached by Bran, who was now getting closer and closer towards the two of them.

"Are you okay?" She asked Jaime, lightly placing a hand on his left arm.

He turned to look at her as if to say something but it was too late for Bran was finally beside them.

"Jaime Lannister", the boy spoke, "I saw you travel here and I saw the real reason why. I want you to know that matters of the past are forgotten for if you had not done what you did that day I would not be here before you now as the Three Eyed Raven."

With this, Jaime looked a little less peaky but alternatively rather perplexed. Brienne had realised with Bran's words exactly the part the Jaime had played in the boys accident and her heart stopped momentarily. She realised that Jaime had been the one to push Bran from the tower. It made a lot of sense why Jaime looked so ghostly when he saw Bran come towards him but she knew that Jaime was a very different man now to who he was back then and she also knew that Bran had shown his awareness of Jaime's change. She wondered if either of the Stark sisters were aware of what Jaime had done but decided that it was very unlikely considering Sansa's positive reception of Jaime and how Arya hadn't tried to kill him yet.

"What I did to you is possibly one of the worst things I have ever done and I have been ashamed and haunted by it ever since. I am so sorry for what I did." Jaime spoke to Bran in soft voice, unable to look at the boy.

"As I said, it is done. I am no longer Bran and therefore it is not something that concerns me anymore. Forgiveness is key, especially with how important you will be in this war." Bran responded.

With that, Bran left, leaving Jaime and Brienne alone once more. They stood in silence for a while before Brienne spoke.

"Why did you do it?" She asked him in an almost whisper, as she turned to face him.

Jaime did not look at her. He looked at the ground, noticeably ashamed. He took his time before he finally answered her question.

"He saw Cersei and I together. It was a snap decision that I should never have made, but I had to make sure the situation between Cersei and I remained a secret." He responded, finally looking back to Brienne as if to gage her response.

"A child, Jaime. No matter what you were trying to protect, you crippled a child." She said, knowing instantly after the words left her mouth that she had been too hard on him.

"I regretted it instantly, I really did."

Brienne looked at him, properly looked at him, and noticed the pain in his eyes. She knew he was sorry and felt guilty for what he had done. She knew he did not need her giving him a hard time for it and she really did not wish to fall out with him after how up and down they had been with each other since he arrived at Winterfell.

"I know. You are not the same person now as you were then and you have made your peace with Bran now and that is all that matters." She said, smiling at him rather weakly.

Jaime mirrored her smile and looked at her as if he wanted to say something but decided against it. Brienne was fed up of feeling like Jaime was holding back from her and so decided that she may as well just outright confront him on it. She may be completely wrong in doing so, but she felt like after all of the events of that day that they really needed to discuss what was going on between them. Jaime was clearly reluctant to do so and she refused to just keep letting him be difficult. He had been at Winterfell short of a day and she was already tired of the confusion and not knowing.

"You have been very strange with me since you got here. You keep looking like there is something you want to say and then saying nothing. Then there are the comments like what your brother said and I know he did say something and whilst you may wish to deny it I don't. And I don't think I can endure another meal time with all the teasing from everyone when I don't even know what is going on You were acting out earlier when Tormund got mentioned and I know you said you don't feel any sort of jealousy but Jaime are you sure? I just don't understand why else you would act like-"

He kissed her.
